Unmissable Music for the King of Instruments

Roderick Williams presents organ favourites and new discoveries, including a solemn procession imagined by Marcel Dupre and the fanfare trumpets of Washington Cathedral.

Roderick Williams presents an hour of organ favourites and new discoveries. In today's programme, we follow a solemn funeral procession to its surprisingly exultant conclusion, J.S. Bach makes graceful leaps of joy in his beloved chorale: Wachet Auf, and we revel in the sound of the spectacular fanfare trumpets which crown the historic organ at Washington Cathedral.
